The more Huang Daozhou looked at Shen Liang, the happier he became, but it was a pity that he had already entered Liu Zongzhou's disciple, otherwise he would definitely have to fight for such a good student.

With Shen Liang's talent, it is a sure thing to be admitted to the show, as for lifting people and jinshi, it depends on luck.

Huang Daozhou asked Shen Liang and said, "Zhong'an, what do you want to be an official in the future?" What are the ambitions? ”

Shen Liang was stopped by this sentence.

He never thought about what he was going to do, since he crossed over to the world of the Red Mansion, his goal was to survive in the environment where the mansion was about to fall, so as not to end up with a raid on his family and the annihilation of the clan.

But after learning about the external environment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his goal was to survive in this troubled world.

He is very satisfied with his current living situation, although he does not have a mobile phone or computer, but with so many beautiful women with him, life is not boring.

But he knew that this kind of life would not last long, and when the wheel of history ran over, all the glory and wealth would have to disappear.

Especially the Manchu Tartars outside the Guan, they are eyeing the Great Zhou Dynasty and don't know when they will come in.

I am afraid that history will repeat itself, after all, Li Zicheng's peasant army has blossomed in all directions, and the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is precarious.

It's a pity that he is too young now, and he has no power of his own, and his words have no weight.

Even if the imperial examination is in high school, it is nothing more than entering Hanlin, like Wei Zaode, to be a civil official such as a noble revisionist, and then to boil up his qualifications, and he will be able to stay up to the cabinet and become a cabinet minister.

But Shen Liang understood that even if he became the first assistant of the cabinet, he would not be able to change all this.

The change of dynasty relied on fists, blood and fire, not the mouths of civil officials.

Shen Liang's eyes gradually became firm: "Sir, I haven't thought about it yet, but if it's possible, I want to be a magistrate." ”

Huang Daozhou thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect Shen Liang to be a sesame mung bean magistrate.

"Zhong'an, with your talent, if you stay in Hanlin, within ten years, you can choose a state capital to be released, but those who choose to go out have no background and want to make money, I heard your master say that after you are the Duke of Rongguo, there should be no shortage of money in your family, why do you want to go out to be a magistrate?"

Of course, Shen Liang couldn't tell him that he wanted to recruit troops and buy horses, and was ready to gain a firm foothold in the troubled times, and said: "The kid just wants to do some practical things for the people in a down-to-earth manner, just like Zhu Zi said, the paper is shallow, and he never knows that he has to do it."

There is no shortage of people who want to be big officials in this world, but there are few down-to-earth officials who think about the people. If everyone wants to be promoted and want to become a big official, then the political achievements they have made are all fake.

The land is barren and lies about taxes, and this tax burden has to fall on the heads of ordinary people in the end.

The land under their jurisdiction was hit by a disaster, and the officials concealed it and did not report it, resulting in the displacement of the people and their hometowns, which could easily lead to civil unrest, so that countless good families were left in the grass and forced to go to Liangshan.

What I want to do is to seek truth from facts, so that the people under my rule have clothes to wear, enough to eat, and the cultivators to have their fields."

Huang Daozhou sighed: "The homeless has its house! There is a cure for the sick! Those who are diligent have their jobs! Those who work have their rewards! The few have their own learning! Childhood has fun! Readers have a school! The weak have their help! The old man has his own support! There's a place for the car! Workers are paid! The farmer has his land! Merchants have their benefits! The best have their honor! Those who can do it will be useful! The reader has his own understanding! Scholars have a point!

This is Yasheng's teachings, Zhong'an, you can have such ambitions, the old man is very pleased, you can rest assured, this time to meet the saint, the old man will definitely recommend it to the emperor, let the saint know, our Da Zhou, not only those who like to drill the camp, but also people with lofty ideals like Zhong'an. ”

Shen Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Huang Zongzhou is an old and angry young man, he has something to say, and his knowledge is also quite good.

As far as Shen Liang's head is concerned, he can't reach the height of the other party's thinking at all, and at best, he can take a slight advantage in terms of knowledge.

However, Huang Daozhou's question also made him think about how he should go in the future.

Coming out of Liu Zongzhou's mansion, it was almost noon.

Looking at the endless carriages and horses at the gate of Liu's mansion, Shen Liang felt for the first time that the bustle of the world is for profit, and the bustle of the world is for profit.

In the past, although Liu Zongzhou had the power, he was only a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he was the official title of Zheng Sanpin.

The people who came to talk to him were nothing more than some businessmen engaged in engineering projects, or officials who built civil engineering and water conservancy.

Where is it as lively as it is now.

Look at your Rongguo Mansion again, although it bears the name of the Guogong, it is a door, except for the New Year's holidays, the door bolt on the door is about to rust on weekdays.

This is the difference between the powerful and the out-of-the-box aristocracy.

If Shen Liang hadn't crossed over, according to the historical process, Rongguofu would inevitably decline, sit on empty mountains, and then provoke Long Yan to be furious because of his clever snatching and reckless disregard for people's lives, and finally led to the destruction of the family.

Or a foreign invasion will be directly leveled, and you will not even have the qualifications to survive.

Shen Liang is extremely eager for power at the moment, only with power and soldiers in his hands can he gain a foothold in this stormy apocalyptic dynasty, otherwise everything he has will be wiped out.

Hua An didn't dare to disturb Shen Liang when he saw that Shen Liang was distracted, but Wu Da asked directly: "Second master, it's time for lunch, my old Wu's stomach is almost hungry." ”

Shen Liang came back to his senses from his endless thoughts, he was proud and ambitious at the moment, and said with a smile: "No problem, Lord will take you to have a good meal today!" ”

Dongcheng District, Sihai Building.

Sihailou is located on the East Street of Sweet Water Garden, in front of the door is the East Street Road of Sweet Water Garden, backed by the East Hutong of Sweet Water Garden, and is a three-story wooden restaurant.

It is said that the owner of this Sihailou is a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou, and the people who come and go are all businessmen with a lot of money.

Shen Liang and Qi Wei made an appointment to meet in Sihai Tower.

Hua'an and Wuda were arranged in the hall on the first floor, Shen Liang didn't spend any money, and Qi Wei was treated.

"Jia Gongzi, I have all the equipment you want, when will we start brewing?"

Qi Wei said a little impatiently.

Shen Liang pointed to the steamed lion's head on the table and said, "There is a way that the people regard food as the sky, and people have to finish the meal for big things." ”

He sandwiched a chopsticks lion's head, one bite at a time, and some squirrel osmanthus fish, scooped Yangzhou fried rice with one hand, and Pingqiao tofu soup with the other, and his tongue was about to swallow it.

What do you mean by that?

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

Although there were many strange seasonings in later generations, in terms of the quality and safety of the raw materials, the ancient ingredients could basically be beaten.

Moreover, in ancient times, because of the lack of condiments, more thought and effort were spent on improving the taste of the dishes, striving for freshness and refreshingness.

In fact, the cuisine of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very similar to that of later generations, and the famous dishes that Huaiyang cuisine should have can be seen in restaurants all over the world.

Qi Wei watched Shen Liang gobble up, and her heart was dripping blood.

I didn't make a penny, and I put in five taels of silver.

This sumptuous table of dishes is the food cost of ordinary people for several months!

Shen Liang ate and drank, and did not forget to greet Qi Wei: "Miss Qi, why don't you eat, it's not to your taste?" ”

Qi Wei was worried about the wine-making in her heart, where could she eat it, and said angrily: "Have you finished eating?" I know you'll have to go home in the evening, and if you get dark early in winter, the day will be in vain if you delay the hour. ”

Shen Liang was not in a hurry, and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I work slowly and carefully, I think you are a very good girl, why are you so rough and rough?" ”

Poof--The maid who was waiting on the side didn't hold back.

Qi Wei glared at her, then stared at Shen Liang angrily without speaking.

She found that she couldn't say anything about Shen Liang at all, but was half angry with him.

Shen Liang ate the food, looked at Qi Wei calmly, only felt that it was delicious, and his appetite was great, and he ate two more bowls of rice.

Qi Wei really couldn't hold back and said, "Are you Bi?" Look at your skinny little one, how do you eat so much? ”

Qi Wei herself has a lot of food, after all, a big man of more than 1.8 meters is placed there, and he likes to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays to boil his muscles and bones.

But Shen Liang is only 1.54 meters tall, and he can't see his muscles from his appearance, plus Shen Liang looks more delicate than the big girl, so he doesn't look like a person who can eat three bowls of rice in a row.

Shen Liang said lightly: "Miss Qi, you can't say that you are small to describe a man, although I eat a lot, but I pull a lot." ”
